How quickly did you get back on your feet? Did you get the relief from hip pain you expected?

I had to have both hips done back to back! Within 3-44 weeks I was walking 3 miles a day for both!

Wow! That is impressive. I had my hip replacement 2 1/2 weeks ago
I'm still having quite a bit of pain. Hobbling around with a walker. Most people I know were walking pretty well after 2 weeks, but they don't have PD.

I had one last year in May. My range of motion is not quite 100% yet, but there was never any pain at all. Over stretching the tendons and ligaments causes a little discomfort, but that just tell me to stretch more and get rid of it. That strategy has served me well. This was my third total joint replacement, so the rehab is becoming second nature. I have found that the harder I work immediately after the surgery, the better the outcome.
